Tuesday: Charlottetown, PEI. Oh gods, why do you hate us so much?
Morning, we get up and have a leisurely breakfast in our temp cabin. Karen is heading out with K&J for a geo-caching adventure later. Since they cannot tell how long it is, and my feet are *still* hurting, I decide to stay in. We just finish up eating and are having a cup...

Monday: Day at sea, and The Ticking, oh gods the Ticking!
Okay, we are operating on almost no sleep. We go to the front desk and talk to them about the ticking. They offer earplugs, we tell them that this is not going to work. One of the front desk people come down to see the issue. “Oh!” she says upon hearing how loud it...

Here's the next installment of our adventure.
Sunday: Quebec City and the Arrhythmic Telltale Heart. We eat breakfast in our cabin. K&J have an excursion planned, so they head off. We decide to check out Quebec’s Old Town, as we had heard so much about it. Hint: When they say it has native art shops they really mean small locally owned shops that sell tourist...

Off to vacation for a week to Nova Scotia and Prince Edwards Island. OH Canada!
I know, I haven't posted in a long time. It just seems so much effort. So I'll just say, be kind to one another.

Hello! Good advice :)

Growing up we are prodded to be successful. Asked if we want to be successful. Implication being that we will be happy. But nobody ever asks if we want to be happy when we grow up. It’s implied that if we are successful then we will be happy, and if not, then we are unhappy.
But whose success are we...

Okay, been a tough week for me. I'll skip some stuff, but today I went to the dentist then to the orthopedic doctor. The dentist was basically okay, just a cleaning, but I am very nervous with dentists. I just have to go back in a month to have a very old filling drilled out and refilled.
Ortho doctor is because of my screwed up...

A few snow flurries over the last few hours. I stopped at the grocery store to pick up some necessities (such as cake mix and laundry detergent) and am standing in a very long line waiting to check out. Guy in front of me (in full camo winter gear) turns to me and says:
Guy: "A few snowflakes and people go insane and run to...

Happens where I'm at all the time....
New garage door opener being installed now. HOORAY!
When the guy asked what was wrong with the current one, I punched the button and it made it's standard severe grinding noise. He kinda jumped back and said "Oh god!"
Yup, it needed replacing.
Tree de-stringing update.
Just spent 2 hours on it, 2/3 of the way finished. My arms look like a bag of very angry cats attacked me. I lost.
Stupid doctors offices. You show up 10 minutes before your appointment, and then you still have to wait to see the doctor an hour after your original appointment time.
Other news, I back-slid a bit today and don't feel very good. Had a few days of feeling better, though. Can of soup for dinner is about all I can take.
